Thank you, Lord,
for the new day given. Thank you for allowing
me to see family and hug that big brother of mine that it has been far too
long. Those relationships so far apart but so remarkably
close every chance we come together.
Always bound by our life, by our blood, by our hearts. Those deep in our souls.
Reminding how we
all just knew, my siblings and I, if we could vision it no matter what. We just knew we had to get up and go get it,
go be it, go and just live.
Knowing if we could
see it and genuinely believe it will be.
We were able to get back up and
keep going even if we go down for the count a time or too.
I looked to you,
somehow in 1995 I walked right up to you for myself, not understanding why. Just so very tired of all I was battling and
losing big. Fighting to stop living with no purpose.
How clearly and
loudly I would scream and fight with you over the years. I am sorry for such disrespect when my
anger would get the best of me. All
that hurt, all that which I could not fulfill, all that I could not control and
just wanted peace. All those times
where I was purposely destroying myself because I just did not want to be where
I was anymore.
All the hurt watching
loved one’s crushed as they suffered tremendous losses and they spiral out of
control trying to just get out of this world.
With no ability to just call upon you themselves.
Thank you even if I
do not know any of the hearts of my blood, friends, or connections. Thank you for those whom I love dearly to
get back up and keep trying. Even if
the battles they face now are bigger because of all the self-infliction. They are still filled with love and trying
to just keep going for the blessings they acknowledge right where they are.
Every one of us, in
fact every single soul in this universe according to the world is just a number. Added to one statistical bucket or
another. Everyone one of us layered
and stressed with something we are trying to get through, get over, become,
prove. Battling the changes in our
families, in our employment, in just our day to day in a world that has dramatically
changed how we ever once knew it.
It started long ago
where unless you live out away from everyone, kids just cannot go out and play
until the streetlights come on. Where
we once gathered for festive parades and celebrations of authenticity,
achievements now has become celebrations that we openly can choose our
sexuality, gender, or even wrong doings.
We celebrate more even
when we can no longer line up and watch the floats go by; all that which will
carry conversation for years to come.
Yet ignore and shine bright for all that they sell their souls and want
the world to see, just so they can feel purpose and meaning why they exist.
Sometimes it just
is all we know, sometimes its fighting what we think we know others its just
stuck somewhere unable to breathe needing reason to live, to escape, to be.
Only you know
really Lord why we do what we do even when at times we do not mean to do
it. Help is on the way in you, with you. If only we look to you from our souls to your
very being. Help is here, it is on the
way we just need to call upon you any time of any day.
Knowing deeply, passionately, and willingly
every day who the God of the universe is.
Knowing who you are and what you have done for us, with us and in us
when we call upon you within our hearts, within our spirit.
No matter who we are, what we have done; You Jesus
when we call upon your name to live within us are given abundant life right
where we are.
My life has been so
close to the edge of that six feet more than I care to count. My life hurts, watching so many losses,
watching loved ones, family, and connections in the fire of life and not realizing
the peace they could have as you walk them out.
We can plan, we can
be our best self in every aspect. We can
love others so deeply we cannot breathe when they are take away or we find out
they never really were.
Yet, in you we
Father God, Son of Man! Jesus give us
hope, give us peace, give us one more day to exhale.
In all your
goodness, in all the fires, in all the pain, in all the mistakes, in all the achievements
at the top of our mountains. Thank you,
Jesus! Please direct my steps, protect
my heart, show me the way to shine just a little bit more when things, circumstances
and even losses make it so hard to see, so hard to lift hands to grasp on and pull
up.
Yesterday is gone,
tomorrow is never promised. May we be
that kind word, that no agenda friend, that truth, that blessing, that listening
ear, that ride, that kind gesture.
May we stop trying to put ourselves out there
for the world to see what we are for what we do; may we shine bright for all the
good in our hearts and souls. May we
heal, from all we cannot speak about.
May we rest well in the blessings of one more day and find our way and opportunities
no matter what they are. No matter who
we are. May we shine bold, bright and
wash away the stains with your blood, wash away the dirt and get away from the
sandbox that like quicksand is just waiting to suck us down and stifle suffocating
all that you allowed us and created us to be.
Thank you, Lord,
for this day no matter come what may.
Thank you for the ability to see those of my blood and all those I will
be blessed to come to know. Thank you for
all those that are lost, I have been able to know who have found themselves and
found you.
Jesus it is between
you and me. It is between you and every
soul who calls upon you daily.
Protect your
called. Protect all our children. Heal
the broken, bring safety to those traveling with you deep in their spirits and
in your name. Show the world your name is
worthy Father God.
Thank you for all I do not understand.
Thank you for all
the times I could not get up myself and it was you who carried me.
Thank you for the
love that will always be. Thank you for
the hope I cannot explain and to the human eye I cannot see.
Thank you for
allowing me life and just to be me, no reasons needed but just to keep
breathing even when we do not know why, how, or when. Thank you!
